The term "starchitect " suits him very well. His fame reached the designers of haute couture, Hollywood stars ... Even without being fond of architecture, nobody can ignore Frank Gehry and his extraordinary creations , against the foot of ambient post-modernism foremost among them the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao or Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles.
Frank Owen Goldenberg known to O'Gehry Frank is one of the architects who have profoundly revolutionized the forms and ideas in architecture has arrived turn cities into open-air museums which is exceptional.
Some even use the term "genius " to describe his ability to develop structures of increasing complexity. Frank Gehry has exploded left his formal imagination to generate a series hyper stylized works recognizable
all ... But there is, as always, downside . Some critics are quick to say that Gehry is made in a mold and that its projects tend to repeat themselves but I find it quite ironic and it's a defect of the current system: the architects offer a clear style and customers ask them reproductions of this style: branding becomes the architect of his trap.
The star system has affected the architecture late, compared to other arts and cultural sectors. Through starchitects as Gehry, the public is now open to "more experimental works" while productions of Le Corbusier have been frankly hated at the time of their creation ...
